WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today applauded House passage of theNorthern Route Approval Act (H.R. 3), legislation introduced by Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) that approves the Keystone pipeline and eliminates legal and regulatory barriers to its construction and the tens of thousands of jobs it will create:

“When American families hit the road this Memorial Day weekend, they’ll once again be paying the price for the Obama administration’s failed energy policy. Gas prices have nearly doubled on the president’s watch, draining family budgets and making it harder for small businesses to hire. The Northern Route Approval Act, part of Republicans’ plan for economic growth and jobs, will help families and small businesses by approving the Keystone pipeline and removing barriers that could keep it tied up in legal limbo for years.

ALERT: We've all heard the reports about how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has admitted that they deliberately harassed conservative political organizations claiming tax exempt status, such as Tea Party groups, by singling them out for additional scrutiny and investigation.

Currently, IRS employees who discriminate against taxpayers can ONLY be fired at the "discretion" of their supervisors. Thankfully, Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) have introduced a bill that would change that, and increase the maximum penalty to a $5,000 fine, 5 years in prison, or both -- which is the same maximum penalty for a member of the president's cabinet who directs an employee to take that sort of action.

Dubbed the "Taxpayer Nondiscrimination and Protection Act," this bill would amend Title 18 of the U.S. Code to make it a crime for an IRS employee to discriminate against an individual or group on the basis of their protected rights. In addition, it expressly clarifies that political speech and political expressionare protected rights.

…Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft.

The Case for Impeachment

How ought Republicans to respond to the growing list of indefensible abuses of power by Barack Obama? Consider what he has done. Obama has created the virtual equivalent of an "enemies list" and used the federal government to persecute these opponents of his plans. Obama has repeatedly and transparently lied to the American people about the misdeeds of his lackeys and his knowledge of those misdeeds. Obama has hidden behind a gaggle of subordinates whose responses to questions sound like the "...to the best of my knowledge at this point in time..." mantra which Richard Nixon's lieutenants recited when called before the House Judiciary Committee in 1974.

Barack Obama committed precisely the sort of "high crimes and misdemeanors" which the Founding Fathers intended to be cause for impeachment. Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, should begin the process of investigating whether Obama should be impeached.

Some conservatives will wince at this approach. They will recall the craven Senate Republicans who effectively acquitted Bill Clinton even before his Senate trial began. The 1998 midterm election, which provided modest gains to Democrats, has been taken as proof that Americans did not want Clinton impeached.

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIRST FEDERAL THOUGHT CRIME “MINORITY REPORT” PROSECUTION IN U.S. HISTORY!

In late 2009 and into early 2010 a number of ordinary citizens became awakened to massive government corruption in East Tennessee. The citizens began to act to hold government workers accountable for their criminal escapades.

Government workers viciously fought back. Tennessee State and federal operatives worked in collusion with a communist cell known as The FOGBOW GANG to mount and carry out a sinister counteroffensive. FOGBOW membership musters one White House attorney, one IRS attorney/agent, and other communist lawyers, academics and journalists.

May 22, 2013 01:20 pmIn the aftermath of both the Fast and Furious and Associated Press scandals, Eric Holder’s Justice Department is afforded little credibility in performing its prescribed duties. Still, it appears the department tasked with upholding constitutional law reached the height of hypocrisy by issuing guidelines to employees that blatantly abridge their First Amendment rights.

Top IRS Official Will Invoke 5th Amendment

May 22, 2013 01:15 pmWASHINGTON — A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the 5th Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew [...]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Far-reaching legislation that grants a chance at citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in the United States cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a solid bipartisan vote Tuesday night after supporters somberly sidestepped a controversy over the rights of gay spouses.

The 13-5 vote cleared the way for an epic showdown on the Senate floor on legislation that is one of President Barack Obama's top domestic priorities — yet also gives the Republican Party a chance to recast itself as more appealing to minorities.

The action sparked rejoicing from immigration activists who crowded into a Senate committee room to witness the proceedings. "Yes, we can! Si, se puede" they shouted, reprising the campaign cry from Obama's first run for the White House in 2008.

In addition to creating a pathway to citizenship for 11.5 million immigrants, the legislation creates a new program for low-skilled foreign labor and would permit highly skilled workers into the country at far higher levels than is currently the case.

At the same time, it requires the government to take costly new steps to guard against future illegal immigration.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) accused outgoing IRS chief Steven Miller of lying by not mentioning that he knew his agency had been “improperly” targeting Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny when Miller responded to letters from members of Congress looking …Continue reading →

ALERT FOR RUSH:OK, Rush, so you refuse to stop running those pro-Amnesty Bill Ads? Guess you're for it then. People will remember. Seems Michael Savage is indeed the only REAL Patriot on radio? They are not on his show.Comment:Way to go, Gina. Nail 'em.

From: Gina Miller..........I'm guessing Rubio and Ryan think we're stupid or that we've somehow changed our minds since we killed the 2007 McCain Kennedy amnesty bill with our sheer outrage. The illegal alien invasion has grown infinitely worse under the commie-in-chief's administration, and no, we have not changed our minds. Maybe they're dreaming that by airing these nonsensical commercials during Rush's show, we might be persuaded. They can keep on dreaming, because we're not buying.
